British Husband & American Wife React To | American football vs European Football Fans

We love a good European vs American Comparison video (well I do anyway). This week it's time to check out American football stadium atmosphere vs European football (soccer) stadium atmosphere.
Apologies for the crappy sound. I'm a total idiot who forgot to press a button.

[@DenDave_]

7:00 ''It's just noise'' Thats mainly because you dont understand the language, so it can just sound like random noises, but also because the singing tends to be loud enough that phone cameras cannot capture it properly. In the US you just sing along to some generic pop song, a catchy beat or two easy to remember lyrics, so if youre watching a video its easy to understand. In Europe you have to understand the culture and history behind it to fully grasp whats happening.

So the story goes - during one the first meetings between FIFA & the US organisation responsible for staging the '94 USA World Cup the Americans were explaining how during the games the TV Director would signal the Referee to stop the game for the Ad breaks. The FIFA representatives looked at one another & then told the Americans it was very nice meeting with them but they had decided to go in a different direction & would now be talking to the South American Federations about how they would go about staging the World Cup down there, possibly sharing it between a couple of countries. Make it all about the money & you will kill it stone dead. The US model for sport must be resisted at all costs - we have gone too far down that road already.

[@user-ou5kw5qt2h]

As football fan, it's indoctrinated into us, it's a sense of our being, our identity. While American sports, which i happen to enjoy, i feel are more there for entertainment purposes only. I think that's why our body rejects the the term 'franchise', the idea our passion can be transferred and replicated in some meaningless place. Whereas US Sports go by the mantra of 'build it and they'll come', erm no we won't. That's why i've watched American sports for years and i don't have support any team, there's just no affiliation there. While as an Arsenal fan, i have a bond with fellow Arsenal fans in Uganda, Malaysia, Peru...etc whatever part of the world as we're a part of history and traditions. Anyway, i'm rambling, football club is a home

[@emobx02]

You should really look into some of the most storied college teams with whatever American sports you like and pick a team to follow. They are older than professional sports in the US, never move or franchise (as it’s a literal university), and that is where the tribal mentality in American sports are. It’s why the biggest stadiums in the US are for colleges, not the NFL.

American sports manage on their own , because of the size of USA and the population, big captive audience, the 50 states are like 50 countries, the college football seems to be the next level down, like the football championship is below the English premier League might be wrong on that theory, I was at the St Etienne game at man utd in the video and fireworks they may look spectacular, but if you look closer the away fans are directly above the disabled section, couldn't begin to imagine how frightened they would of been that night, we are searched by security at every game , but the European visiting fans seem to get these pyros in unchallenged , then UEFA clock up the fines for the match, man utd get a fine for the pyros and similar to St Etienne for their fans behaviour

The Super Bowl is an event, the crowning of the overall champion, but it's hard to be really passionate about that game if your team isn't playing. So, unless you are watching the Super Bowl with fans of one of the teams playing, it's not gonna have that feel to it. Also, because it's become such an event, they try to get everyone into to it, so they have the big name performer at half-time, and all the creative ads, so even more casual fans than usual will be watching. Now, find some fans of the team where you live, and watch a division rivalry game together and you will see that passion.

One of the reasons American sports dont really make it outside of the US is that they are a business first, they even refer to their teams as "franchises". In the rest of the world that is into sports, the sport comes first and the advertising, marketing and money are made as a result of the sport. Can only think of 1 English football team moving (Wimbledon becoming the MK Dons) and that is still a massive issue between them and the reformed Wimbledon. LA Rams only just moved back to LA, can u imagine moving a team like Arsenal or Chelsea to another city?

[@geekofix]

Hello from Germany, there is a reason why I have seen so many comments from the US that the NFL game in Munich / Germany had the best atmosphere the NFL has ever seen or at least for a while. In soccer for example people are organised in fan clubs. Like Fen said it ruins your day if your team loses. Often the whole family is involved in the fan club. By the way there is a huge Seahawks fan club in Germany. NFL is getting bigger in Germany and Europe, but you will see a different fan culture. Unfortunately, many fans of the major leagues NFL, NBA and MLB are very boring and somewhat sedate. And yes, probably because of what Fen said. Personally, I like the audience in college sports much better. I like it when the fans sing "I Won't back down" at the Florida Gators or "Dixieland Delight" in Alabama or "Mr. Brightside" in Michigan. If I'm honest, I've seen better atmosphere in women's gymnastics in college sports than in the major leagues. Soccer and MLS is a little different. With some clubs you notice a European influence in the fan culture, like FC Cincinnati or Detroit City FC, even though Detroit is not part of MLS. Detroit reminds a lot of the German club FC. St. Pauli from Hamburg / Germany. No wonder these clubs had a friendly match in the past.

[@nsdninjaa1792]

I have experienced Dortmund and that was brilliant atmosphere, probably one of the best I have ever been to.

[@emobx02]

Yes, this. People that don’t believe there are passionate sports fans in the US obviously don’t know about college sports.

[@cjboyer4355]

I’m from Kansas and the Chiefs fans are known to be just as passionate as college fans. We hold the record for loudest outdoor stadium in the world by Guinness World Records. I’ve never been to a NFL game besides in KC but Denver and Seattle is also known for loud passionate fans so I get a little defensive when I hear people say Americans have no passion but it must just be where I’m from. The Kansas Jayhawks basketball team also hold the Guinness Word record for loudest indoor stadium.

[@juniorbent3776]

American sports are manufactured entertainment (timeouts & stopping the clock) with little real jeopardy ( closed leagues). Like I can't fathom how teams can just decide to tank the season so they can benefit in the future. So it's a bit fake and therefore doesn't (in my opinion) tap into the hearts of people generally. The fan and players have very little power (contracts can be traded on the owners whim) and so it won't have the mass appeal. I'm non-American just for transparency

[@TheSloppyjoejr]

1. I agree with you, I like relegation and promotion systems and I wish we had that here in the US. 2. Teams cannot just “tank” as easy as you think they can. You need everyone to go along with it and that won’t resonate well with the fans, coaches, and players. The coaches and players are paid to win so anything else is reason to get fired. 3. Owners cannot directly sign free agents. Multiple people like the GM and President have to sign on it. 4. The fans not having a say is not a problem for me. I am Green Bay Packer fan, the only American franchise to be 100% owned by the fans like me who are members

[@cjboyer4355]

Like the other guy said it’s not as easy to tank as you think. The average NFL players career is 3-4 years because every year 300-400 college players are drafted so that’s potentially 300-400 new guys losing their jobs since only 53 guys can be on a team so the older players are fighting their ass off to play well so they can find a new team next year or not get cut by their current team. Some guys will get signed by new teams after they’ve been replaced but most will have to retire.

[@samker7758]

Also if there is a technical problem with TV then the game will stop or not start until the issue is resolved. NFL games are split into 4 quarters. Imagine soccer being broken down into 15 min segments? There'd be a riot!!! Though I have noticed when watching college American football games the crowd do seem to be more rowdier

[@lukejustus4337]

It pisses me off when people compare european football to the NFL fans or something because, like you said, college football fans are rowdier, there's school pride there.

I’d argue basketball is pretty big in southern and Eastern Europe just not in the UK for whatever reason. Baseball is massive in Japan, Korea, and all of Central America. American football is not that popular I agree but it’s growing in Germany but still. I think that’s because you need schools to invest in our football to buy all the equipment and why would they do that when they could just play Rugby and save thousands of dollars on equipment. Soccer is massive because it’s the cheapest sport to play all you need is a ball and you can turn basically anything into a goal.

[@ariannatrapani5824]

Football, not soccer, could be the cheapest but that's not a bad thing by any means, otherwise the king of sports would be the most expensive one, Formula 1. It's massive in Europe and South America because has a huge history. Almost all the mayor club are at least 100yo ( most are around 130 and in the Uk even 150 yo) and big significance for cities and nations history. It's massive in the rest of the world (Africa and Asia) because is a beautiful, intricate and exciting game that anyone can play in the streets. You just don't get it: children and teenager don't play in schools or colleges in Europe. All the teams have their own schools for the game, but every local/private sport club can have its team, and in Italy even church have their fields.

This is a pretty big misconception amongst people, usually football fans, outside of the US that only think of American sports as the NFL or NBA. You obviously don’t know about the tribalism of college sports in the US, and how they predate the NFL and even some English football clubs, and to be fair, I don’t know why someone outside the US would know about it as it’s not pushed out, but it is frustrating when people speak on sports in American and leave out what is actually the biggest sport section in the US: college athletics. Not only are the college teams older than pro, bring in more money than most pro sports. The biggest stadiums in the US, and many of the biggest stadiums in the world, are all college football stadiums. College teams never move, and have generations of fans and families going back 100s of years. Wealthy people make donations worth hundreds of millions to universities just for college athletics. It’s huge. Also, professional baseball is as old as professional English football, but that’s an aside.

@@emobx02 We will win we will win. Is not tribalism. It's positive supporting. We know about college football l. It's still not the same.

@@charliecosta3971 funny, I never hear anyone mention college sports when they speak on American sports, only mention NFL, which is funny because, as I said, college fans dwarf most professional fan bases. But the “we will win” part of your comment tells me just how much you know about college sports fans and traditions 😂. As a football fan (yes, your kind) I’ve been to bundesliga and premier league matches. I’d put many college football atmospheres and fans right up there.

You were talking about the Super Bowl specifically, and that is a unique situation. There are definitely folks there who love it because they love the game for what it is, but at the same time you have to realize that there are now only 2 teams remaining, out of 32 teams, and the fans of the other teams may not be as pumped about the game as they would be in other situations. Hand-swining thing is "tomahawk chop", makes me cringe all the time, very close to being a racist, cringe-worthy situation.

[@cjboyer4355]

So is the Skol chant for the Vikings raciest too? I know everyone doing that chant does not have Scandinavian blood. I’ve sat next to natives at Chiefs games who love the tomahawk chop 🙄 it’s a battle cry to support the team..stop virtue signaling.

I nearly turned off the vid after u called it soccer lad🤣 I hope Newcastle win Sunday as there my 2nd team as I have family from there💪 forest are my team tho so it's lucky man utd beat us in the semis cuz we would have smashed u in the final. American sports r crap in my opinion there is zero atmosphere but they don't have a problem with hooligans I mean I've seen something on TV where rival fans meet up b4 games and have drinks and BBQs over here fans have to b separated by police so no one gets a bottle over the head or in the throat!
